Can't think of many things more evil!


We all know that Paul was not one of the good guys before he had his moment on the road to Damascus.  Of all the things that he did to the early Christians I can think of few things that were more despicable than compelling them to blaspheme.  

Acts 26:11(NKJV)
11And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

Why do I think it is so despicable?  Because it totally breaks a person.  And remember that blaspheming the Holy Spirit is the one unforgivable sin according to Matthew.
Matthew 12:31-32(NKJV)
31“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 
32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

That means that Paul probably condemned some people to hell.  Can't think of much that is more wicked than that.

And yet God was still able to use him. 
Well guess what.  No matter what you or I have done in our lives, God can still use us too! 

What kind of things is God waiting to do in your life?  What are you waiting for?  Ask Jesus into your life to get the blessing started and then hold on! 

How do you ask Jesus into your life?  Simple.  Just have a conversation with Him and ask Him for his guidance in your life.  Share with Jesus what you are looking for.  "Dear Jesus…."
